Queerlit Stories

This is my review of the Wattpad novel, "The First Out". I encourage other Wattpad users to read it. It'll inspire you.

| WATTPAD EDITOR'S CHOICE | Major Aula Reed is a Canadian fighter pilot, veteran astronaut, and closeted bisexual. She's stationed on the second International Lunar Base or ILUB-2 with seven other crewmates. To be separated from Earth means facing radiation, meteorites, and equipment failure while under constant public scrutiny. For Aula, it also means struggling with memories of ILUB-1: the worst disaster in space exploration since the shuttle era. While she tries not to let her first mission overshadow her second, the Moon is an unforgiving place. It only takes one mistake, no matter how small, for history to repeat itself. This is a story of the near future informed by the lives of today's astronauts, whose triumphs and tragedies are immortalized in the public eye.

Karl is a Pansexual Jewish German architect. He built a skyscraper in Germany that was much sought after. He moves to Warsaw, Poland(but he has lived there before with his genderqueer friend Aleks and his ex girlfriend Ola) for work and meets Vladimir when they become roommates. Vladimir is from Russia and also works as an architect in Poland. He doesn't like to talk about himself and has a possible tragic backstory. He is a little ignorant of queer culture and modern love lives.

​Dr. Nel Bently has barely dug into Chile's dry earth when her pristine site is vandalized. Her archaeologist's dream of a ground-breaking project funded by a private patron turns into a nightmare: local activists Los Pobladores take issue with anyone brave--or stubborn--enough to set boots on their land. And foul-mouthed Nel is stubborn as they come. Despite the danger, Nel refuses to surrender her site to vandals. Easier said than done, however, with the greenest crew she's ever trained, absurd radiocarbon dates, and angry militants who may actually have a point. When Los Pobledores land a blow that turns Nel's world upside down, she realizes her mysterious benefactor is playing chess with their lives. Grief-stricken and angrier than ever, Nel is ready to fight dirty.

COVER BY DAZZIESH When the Delphi Foundation calls Emerson Cole to interview a pair of twins, he doesn't expect them to be the apparently-not-quite-so-dead scions of the deceased Waymark family. He definitely doesn't expect them to be stuck in the same body. As enigmatic as they are charismatic, Cole knows he shouldn't get himself dragged into the Waymark family's business. He's seen it before--mages--young, powerful, and cocky with a bone to pick with the universe wrecking things for everyone else. But magic is being stolen from the world and the twins seem to be the only ones who might know what's going on. The Wrath is getting stronger, the Malibu Incident looms over all their heads and an ancient artifact wielded by a prophecized hero is the only hope they have between them and oblivion. Cole isn't a hero and he certainly isn't trying to be, but he is a dragon and his currency is knowledge. He'll help. He just needs a cigarette or three first.

Every Poem Is Your Fault isn't just a collection, it's my proof. Every page is what you did to me, every line the hurt you left behind. I wrote the things you'll never say out loud, the scars you keep pretending don't exist. You can lie to yourself. You can lie to them. You can even lie to the life you keep running back to. But the truth doesn't change, it's carved into every poem on these pages. This is for anyone who's been broken by someone they trusted and left carrying the silence alone. These pages hold the weight of betrayal, the ache of what was never said, and the strength I clawed back by putting it into words. Every poem is proof of what happened. Every poem is your fault. Disclaimer This book is a work of creative expression. The poems within it are born from lived experiences, emotions, and imagination, but they are not intended as factual accounts of any one person, relationship, or event. Any resemblance to actual people, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
